I am so happy to say that I am super lucky to have another little niece on the way (I have 5 already and one simply adorable nephew). My sister and her husband are expecting their sweet little bundle in April and my Mom and I couldn’t have been more excited to throw them a baby shower. The theme was “It’s a Cowgirl Y’all” and that was a blast. My sister requested “no pink” so I went with a Turquoise and Red pallet and I love the way it turned out. I designed the invites using Photoshop and purchased a few fun images from Etsy to use on the invite as well.

We had a “Sassy Sangria” and some delicious sweet tea for refreshments. I used free online template for the water bottles and just designed them with Photoshop as well. Super easy.

My sister isn’t really into the game thing, so we had some diapers that people could write funny messages on for Mama and Daddy-to-be for later, they were hilarious and everyone had a ton of fun with them.

I had fun naming all of the food, I got a lot of the ideas from this party on Pinterest, and the names (and the snacks) were a hit!

I think everyone had a lot of fun and it was a super easy no-fuss kind of baby shower, perfect for my sister and brother-in-law and little Baby Franse!

Every year, Mark and I have a whirlwind of a holiday season, like most people these days. With a large family, we have quite a few people to see and it gets a little busy in the Barrera household. That means we don’t get to see our friends for most of the holiday season, so we always have a big fun Friendsgiving bash before actual Thanksgiving to kick of the best time of year, catch up with family and friends, and of course eat great food. I love to decorate the house with pumpkins and fall decor. Here’s what I did for this year’s party, what a blast!

Do you have a tradition like this? Give me some ideas for next year 😉 *all inspiration for this decor from Pinterest.
